The Acidic Brain—Glycolytic Switch in the Microenvironment of Malignant Glioma

Abstract excerpt

Malignant glioma represents a fatal disease with a poor prognosis and development of resistance mechanisms against conventional therapeutic approaches. The distinct tumor zones of this heterogeneous neoplasm develop their own microenvironment, in which subpopulations of cancer cells communicate.
